Netflix Streaming the Sicks Days Away

The past month has been pretty brutal in terms of illness in our family. We had a grand total of four colds (Cooper dodged that bullet) and six diagnoses of strep throat (I had it twice!). Ouch. Needless to say, we didn’t do a lot of adventuring, or working, or – well, anything. I’m not even sure how many times I called schools informing them one of the kids would be taking a sick day, John missed several days of work, and I had several days during the month were the only thing I managed to do was make sure the kids stayed alive all day. Some days there was just one person in the family sick; other days it was a few of us. At one point all three kids and I were on antibiotics.

Through it all, we were able to depend on Netflix Streaming to save the day. It kept our minds off of feeling yucky and it was a lifesaver for me because it kept the kids entertained when I wasn’t able to do much more than get out of bed.
